Rabbits Bush

Once the site was fenced off from the field, where cows and bulls grazed. This made it possible to grow native shrubs and plants. Which would otherwise be eaten by livestock.nOver time, this section of the top part valley of stream turned into a piece of bush that once grew here.nnPlenty of cute bunnies and rabbits live in the bush, live there since 1970s.nnThe area is prone to swamping, so there is no chance it will ever be converted to residential or commercial property and will remain a reminder of the ancient Totara Wood that covered the valley.

Cows and bulls love to sleep and graze right at the entrance of the bike track into this bush. The gate opens, but does not let them in.nnIf you try to get here from the side of the highway, the fence is energized. Be careful when climbing over the electrified fence on the Mill Road side.
